Did you stick your head up your ass and discover gold? Then I suggest you pull it out and take a look at the real world.
Polygamous societies always end up systemically treating one gender as a commodity. This results in all sorts of interesting things, including a large supply of youth of the dominant gender that have absolutely no chance of getting married and are thus forced to find another outlet for their sexual frustrations. In other words, dismissing it because woman occasionally are abused in traditional marriage is no different than dismissing slavery because people occasionally get stiffed on their wages.
Only a complete ignoramus asswipe would make that argument.
What polygamous societies are you basing your argument on? Tribal customs from Uganda? There are no modern polygamous societies that would be the equivalent of the US.
I am betting you are against the redistribution of wealth. So how is it you believe that the gov't should be involved in limiting people to one spouse so that everyone gets one?
And I guess you and I have different opinions of "occasional". Is 1 in 4 women experiencing abuse an "occasional" thing? It is rampant in our society. How about we attack THAT instead of trying to claim that 3 people (or more) who are in love and want to commit to a life together is somehow wrong?
Go read some history.
Reading history will not dispute my statement of "There are no modern polygamous societies that would be the equivalent of the US.".
